May 2009, Sierra Vista celebrated the Historical Soldiers Relocation Ceremony with about 300 attendees from all branches of the U.S. military, various Arizona dignitaries, and the public.

The special cemetery was built by lead construction manager SACA President Mike Rutherford (Rutherford Diversified Industries).
